From the moment the first Standard Model was built, inventor William B. Ruger and investor Alex Sturm knew they had struck gold. Four generations later, it's safe to say that they were right about their .22LR pistol.
The Ruger Mark IV retains the decades-old design inspired by the Japanese Nambu and German Luger but improves on the Ruger Mark III with a few new features. A hinged connector was added between the upper receiver and the frame of the grip for simple disassembly. The bolt stop and trigger group were both redesigned. An ambidextrous thumb safety and a "drop-free" magazine release were also added.

As a smaller caliber, the .22LR is very good for two things: small-game hunting and target-shooting. These rounds produce very little recoil and noise, making them both accurate and comfortable for long shooting sessions. Competitive shooters often use .22LR guns during training, and people new to firearms are learning the basics of handling a gun.
.22LR pistols are not made for long-distance shooting, so their tested effective range is around 150 yards. However, it's more likely closer to 100 yards in real-world applications. Bullet drop increases drastically after 150 yards.
